Was hoping I'd enjoy this one but unfortunately I couldn't wrap my head around the gameplay. It's a fairly punishing isometric platformer, which requires you to micromanage the camera a lot if you want to get any perspective around your jumps. It also has 2d fighting game-style combat which gets very janky and if you lose you have to restart from your last save. Shame.
One of the first games out there that focused on truly experimental storytelling. At least, outside of text adventures, point and click adventures, and visual novels. Shame it doesn't stick the landing, but I think reading it against its contemporaries in the action/adventure space really makes you appreciate this game for how revolutionary it was at the time. It seems to me a clear inspiration for games like 999.
Dark Savior is a game you shouldn't go into with spoilers - ideally even mechanical ones. It is one that you should play as blindly as possible, allowing the different threads to fall where they may until you reach the true ending.
Man that cart section sucks though. And you have to do another one if you want to see everything!
